That looks like a muzzleloader. Just because you can put a quarter pound of shot down the barrel doesn't mean you have to. Most people who shoot 4 gauges put in only enough shot to fill the sky.

I hardly ever put more than 1 1/4 ounce of shot in my muzzleloading 8 gauge except for that time that my brother wanted the "full 8 gauge experience", once was enough.
BTW, that gun throws excellent patterns with 1 1/4 ounce loads.
